Signal Stalker I

Your scanner’ s Signal Stalker I feature lets you set 
the scanner so it detects and then displays the 
frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission. 

Signal Stalker I works well for locating the source 
of strong local transmissions, such as mobile and 
handheld two way radios in areas with no other 
strong transmission sources. 

Signal Stalker I might not correctly display 
frequency information for transmitters using a 
highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio 
beam antenna), if there are many transmitters 
operating at the same time in the same area, or if 
the transmitter is a broadcast television station.

2.

Rotate the knob to select
